Hilda Hänchen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hilda Hänchen , later Hilda Lindberg or Hilda Lindberg-Hänchen , (born September 1, 1919 in Hamburg , † October 19, 2013 in Cologne ) was a German physicist .

Live and act

Hänchen received his doctorate in 1943 and was "administrator" of the assistant position at the State Institute of Physics in Hamburg during the Second World War (to enable male academics to return after military service, women could only be employed as administrators of assistant positions). At the same time she worked at the Physikalisch-Chemischen Versuchsanstalt in Kiel on war research assignments and was listed in the sponsorship file of the Reich Research Council. From 1949 to 1951 she was named as a consultant in the Chemisches Zentralblatt . Around 1975 she was chairwoman of the Cologne branch of the German Association of Women Academics .

With her doctoral supervisor Fritz Goos , Hänchen discovered the goos-Hänchen effect .

In 1946 she married the physicist Albert Hermann Lindberg (* 1914), who was most recently division manager and development director at Leybold AG , before he retired in 1979. They had three daughters - Renate, Claudia, and Dorothea.
